2. Why is natural selection a mechanism for biological change?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time.  Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.

Question :- If a spring of spring constant ‘m’ is divided into 5:3 ratio, then what will be the spring constant of the larger piece of spring?

Answer :- 8m/5

I need explanation! ​

Answers

[tex]\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}[/tex]

Here we go ~

As we have been given, The spring of spring constant " m " was cut to form 2 new springs in ratio of 5 : 3.

we have to find out the spring constant of the longer spring which was formed, and it's given that spring constant of the main spring was " m "

Now, let the length of main spring be " l "

So, lengths of the resultant springs will be :

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{5l}{8} \: \: and \: \: \dfrac{3l}{8} \: \: \: \: respectively[/tex]

And we know that spring constant is inversely proportional to length of spring so, we infer that :

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: m\propto \dfrac{1}{l} m \: \: \: \: \: - (1)[/tex]

where, m is spring constant of main spring and l is its length.

[tex]\qquad \cal\dashrightarrow \: m_1 \propto \dfrac{8}{5l} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: - (2)[/tex]

where, m1 is spring constant of longer spring, and 5l/8 is its length.

let's divide (2) by (1), we will get ~

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{m_1}{m} = \dfrac{8}{5l} \div \dfrac{1}{l} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{m_1}{m} = \dfrac{8}{5l} \times \dfrac{l}{1} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: \dfrac{m_1}{m} = \dfrac{8}{5} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \cal \dashrightarrow \: {m_1}{} = \dfrac{8}{5} m [/tex]

So, the spring constant of equivalent longer strong formed will be 8/5 m

prove:

[tex]m_2 = \frac{8m}{5} [/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant of spring= m

The ratio of spring = 5:3

To find:

spring constant of the larger piece of spring?

Solution:

Let the length of larger piece L2 be 5x and smaller piece L1 be 3x with spring constant m2 and m1 respectively.

now,

spring constant (m) inversely proportional to the length of spring i.e.

[tex]m \propto \: \frac{1}{l} {,}\: m_1 \propto \: \frac{1}{l_1} {,}\: m_2 \propto \: \frac{1}{l_2}[/tex]

Also,

The spring is connected in series hence,

[tex] \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{m_1} + \frac{1}{m_2} [/tex]

and

[tex] \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{l_2}{l_1} \\ {m_1} = {m_2} \cdot \frac{l_2}{l_1} \\ {m_1} = {m_2} \cdot \frac{5}{3} \\ [/tex]

Substituting above value in,

[tex] \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{m_1} + \frac{1}{m_2} \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{{m_2} \cdot \frac{5}{3}} + \frac{1}{m_2} \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{3}{5m_2} + \frac{1}{m_2} \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{3m_2 + 5m_2}{5 {m_2}^{2} } \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{8m_2}{5 {m_2}^{2} } \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{8 \cancel {m_2}}{5 \cancel{m_2}^{2} } \\ \frac{1}{m} = \frac{8}{5m_2} \\ m_2 = \frac{8m}{5} [/tex]

If an asteroid with a diameter of 1 km strikes the earth, how big of a crater will it make?.

Answers

An asteroid with diameter of 1 km will have a crater of 5.236 x 10⁸ m³ volume when it strikes the earth.

Volume of crater made by the asteroid

The impact created by an asteroid when it strikes the earth depends on several factors such as the size of the asteroid.

The bigger the diameter of the asteroid the bigger the crater volume it will make when it strikes the earth.

Assuming the asteroid to be  spherical, volume of the crater is calculated as follows;

V = 4/3πr³

Where;

r is radius of the sphere = 500 m

V = 4/3π(500)³

V = 5.236 x 10⁸ m³

Thus, an asteroid with diameter of 1 km will have a crater of 5.236 x 10⁸ m³ volume when it strikes the earth.

Q14. Describe what happens to the bar graphs when you change the amount of friction. Is the Law of Conservation of Energy still obeyed?

Answers

The kinetic energy of the skater would increase while his potential energy would decrease as he descends from top to bottom.

What is the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy possessed by a physical body can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can only be converted (transformed) from one form of energy to another.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the total energy (potential energy + kinetic energy) would always remain constant because it is conserved.

The potential energy of this skater at a height of 5.0 meters is given by:

PE = mgh

PE = 75 × 9.8 × 5.0

PE = 3,675 Joules.

Also, the kinetic energy of this skater at a height of 0.0 meters would be equal to zero assuming it is at rest.

In conclusion, the potential energy possessed by a physical body is highly dependent on its height while kinetic energy depends only on motion, regardless of height.
